I need to show you the output when the problem comes out, or it is doesn't matter?

For normal situation it is:

In 12.04 sometimes disabling, wait for 5-10 seconds and enabling networking helps. But in 12.10 it doesn't help anymore.

Is this a home built PC?

Simplehuman (simplehuman) said :

Yes, it is. And I don't have this problem on 9.10 - 10.10 Ubuntu versions. And on Windows XP and Windows 7. So I don't think it is a hardware problem. Also I was faced with this problem on some laptops on Ubuntu 12.04.

I'd boot to the Karmic live CD and run:

sudo lshw -C network

And add the output to the bug report so the bug fixing guy(s) can see what wifi chip you have

The problem is not with wifi, it is with wired network. So maybe you don't understand the problem and I need to add another information?

The wired connection has an IP of 217.147.162.205.If you run:

ping -c 4 8.8.8.8

Does it ping ok?

Brilliant, your only issue is DNS then :)

run:

echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/tail > /dev/null

Reboot to test

I will after finishing my work. What result I need to observe? That my wired network won't connect, or it will connect?
The issue is pretty random so that's why I am asking (~10-20% of boot times).

Just try we access. It will work :)

This doesn't solved the problem... after "echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/tail > /dev/null" and booting today - Ubuntu doesn't want connect to wired network...
